Hi I’m new here and I have not had a good year. I recently received bad news that has sent me over the edge.

Dear Lolababygirl~

Welcome. Posting in the middle of the night to a bunch of unknowns means you probably feel as desperate as I did when somebody I loved died and I would try anything to stop the hurt.

I'm probably on the wrong track with that is distressing you so much, but do know pain and despair.

I realy would like to make you fell at least not alone. I could mouth general platitudes but what good would that do?

So I can relate at least a little may I ask you talk some more, say what is the bad that is happening now, and probably the bad that has made your year not good?

This is in the suicide and self harm area, if you chose to be here then I can guess what being pushed over the edge means -you just want it all to stop. I have been there, not only when my wife died but another time too.

All I can offer is I found that talking with others kept some of the feelings at bay, and I did not feel quite so alone, also I went on to a better life, something I'd not thought possible at the time.

I hope you do talk some more, we will listen

Hello Lolababygirl,

I understand how you must be feeling as I have had a shitty 12 months. You didn't give too much away so it's hard to understand your situation. If you need to chat, there is help available. Life can be pretty cruel, hard or however you want to call it.

Don't want to go into my crappy past year. But I am sending you love and hugs, People on this forum really care about each other.
